I built a tool that turns Excel workbooks into tested pandas or SQL and proves the numbers still match. Looking for testers (free beta)
Disclosure: I built this. Beta, free, here for feedback not sales.
The target: the workbook that runs a pricing model or a month-end pack, that three people depend on and nobody dares rewrite, because "nearly right" is worse than the workbook.
What it does: parses the workbook, builds the cell dependency graph, groups copied-down formulas into blocks, generates readable Python, pandas or SQL, then recalculates every formula cell and compares it with the workbook's stored value. You get a workbook map, a dependency graph, the code with tests, and a reconciliation report that names every mismatch and every cell it could not convert. Nothing is guessed.
Where it stands: two public workbooks reconcile 100% on Python and pandas and over 99.5% on SQL (IRR and RATE need a solver SQL lacks). Excel semantics are checked against Excel itself. Macros are inventoried, not run.
Data: the hosted converter (Azure, UK South) deletes uploads within six hours, runs no AI step, and records counts, never values. The CLI runs the same pipeline inside your own environment. Detail: power-migrate.com/help/#privacy-and-data
The ask: try it on something real and tell me what reconciled, what did not, and what you would need to trust the code. It is tested equivalence, not "guaranteed identical", and the report says what was tested.
